I have traveled far for you.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

My intentions have been true.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I sent a letter through the mail.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Stating it all in detail.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

What do you mean by that?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

You didn\u2019t get the letter. It\u2019s a fact.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

It came with postage due.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

You thought I thought more of you.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

You were mad and rejected it.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

They said you threw a little fit.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I used enough postage for sure.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

It must have fallen off, as it were.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

You don\u2019t believe a word I say.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Save it for another day.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

For another who will believe.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

As for you, I can\u2019t deceive.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

You are sadly mistaken dear.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not deceiving you. Never fear.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Retrieve it from the dead letter box.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Read it and learn that I\u2019m not.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

My letter is dead to you?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Just because of a little postage due?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Good thing I learned of this now.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Before I made a permanent vow.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Lacking postage has saved me.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I wonder how this could be?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Miracles seem to never cease.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Despite the loss, I can be in peace.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
